I assume this is obvious, but just in case let me say it: citation counts have a very imperfect correlation with quality. But in a world where law faculties are ranked by Bob Morse, an ignorant non-academic looking to make a living, we need alternative metrics that reflect what we in the legal academy actually do. There are many first-rate scholars who are as good as any of those on the various lists I have been and will be posting but who didn't happen to make them; off the top of my head: in law & philosophy, Mark Greenberg (UCLA) and Stephen Perry (Penn); in law & economics, Eric Talley (Columbia) and Abraham Wickelgren (Texas); in legal history, Risa Goluboff (Virginia) and Sally Gordon (Penn); in empirical legal studies, Anup Malani (Chicago) and Ed Morrison (Columbia); in administrative law, Anne O'Connell (Stanford) and Ed Rubin (Vanderbilt); and many others.
